Hosted by the Fairfax County Office of Community Revitalization and Reinvestment, the conference features three speakers discussing varied approaches to engaging the community in redevelopment projects: Peggy Gaynor, president of Gaynor, Inc. discusses working on the Thorton Creek project in Seattle, Washington; Jair Lynch, president and CEO of JAIR LYNCH Development Partners shares his experience with developing urban mixed-use projects within Washington, D.C.; and Cecilia Cassidy, executive director for Rosslyn Renaissance/Rosslyn BID, discusses how a partnership of residential, commercial and government entities worked to create a sense of place within Rosslyn. The conference was held at the Fairfax County Government Center on September 13, 2010.
